You also asked on Wikipedia talk:Introduction 2 "'While these may be interesting, I have to question whether they would be useful to our objectives. Don't credentials--degrees or otherwise--always appreciate oror undermines an article?'" Basically, credentials do not undermine an article but verification does. As article text should be verifiable, preferably through the use of citations. Credentialed wikipedians generally have better knowledge of and access to good reference material, thus they do have a slight advantage, but their changes must meet the neutral point of view and verifiability standards just like everyone else.
